Is it possible to be in love with a phone case?

Because I am. I was a very lucky girl this christmas and my sister got me this life changing phone case...okay, okay I swear it is life changing. It's the 2014 MOSHINO Barbie collection and is a dressing table mirror - the mirror actually comes in handy! I've been looking at this case a lot recently online and I couldn't justify spending that much, but I was SO pleased that my sister gave it to me as a gift! This case is quite girly (very) but I just love it, it has so much detail and is really the perfect accessory to any girls phone. 

It also matches in perfectly with my desk as when its turned over with just the mirror showing, it really doesn't look like a phone case at all. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea but it really is unusual and need i say more? AMAAZZIINNGG. I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and a Happy New Year!

An American Breakfast.

This post includes lots of pancakes, bacon, blueberry compote and maple syrup. Lets just say, that when Americans do breakfast, they do breakfast. I enjoyed my breakfast's in New York so much that I took images of them all but this one was probably my favourite. I love pancakes a lot. I love blueberry compote a lot. So putting them together made an amazing blueberry buttery pancake heaven - it was amazing. I also put lashings of maple syrup on my pancakes which was also heavenly also not forgetting a cup of Earl Grey tea being British right? Overall I had an amazing American pancake experience. I feel like I haven't said pancake enough so i'll say it a couple more times pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake.

This post is a little random but i thought that as i was thinking about this breakfast so much today, i'll dedicate my blog post to my pancake feast.

Shoe Inspiration!

Lately i have been sneaking around websites finding lots of lovely winter shoes that i fancy... I made a little collage of my favourites, and one pair i actually already own (the first pair but in dusty pink and grey.) I find these types of posts interesting as you can see what i fancy in the shoe department, and it will hopefully spread some inspiration (if you're looking for some.)

Here are the links:

My Christmas Decorations 2014

When I was decorating my christmas tree with my sister I thought I would make a small blog post about it as I love tree decs so much and i thought i would share my favourites! These are all from Anthropologie, I love the christmas decorations there as they are a little funky and different but completely adorable and homemade all at the same time. These decorations will take pride of place right at the front of the tree and i have to say the second decoration is probably my favourite!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics Palette.

I went to New York recently and i placed my hands on a very special palette. The Naked 2 Basics Palette. I think this palette is relatively new..but from owning this palette a few weeks this palette is definitely a favourite of mine, Its just so perfect! All the shades are brown and beige tones all being matte except one (SKIMP) which has a slight shimmer but is still very neutral. This palette is SO handy and easy as all the colours blend together really well and even look strong by themselves. I used the two middle shades for my first eye look, using FRISK on my lid and COVER on my crease. I really loved how it looked as it tied in with my winter outfit really well. This palette is also so handy as the colours tie in with any outfit, and makes your whole outfit look very put together and sophisticated. So literally, everyone should go buy this palette as it is an amazing piece to any collection and is also a great Christmas gift!
